Mismatched thumbnails

Posted under Bugs & Features

I just noticed that some thumbnails I clicked on lead me to another post entirely. Also when I click on the parent or child thumbnail of a post, it sometimes stays on that same post. Is this a known bug?

Are you browsing on iPhone Safari?

I used to to browse on Safari on my old iPod Touch (3G) and what Sal.N is describing happened to me, too, on that browser. I had to refresh the page at least once to show the correct images.

I don't know if this still happens with current versions of Safari because I use Chrome on my current iPod Touch (5G) with no problems while viewing the site.

No, there is not. It's a Safari bug, not a Danbooru bug, and people have been talking about it for at least four years. Apple apparently doesn't intend to fix it.

Some claim it helps to go into your iOS settings and clearing Safari's cache, but in my experience that doesn't change anything. Just reloading a page of wrong thumbnails gets them all right, though.

Thank you, I guess that's unfortunate then. Refreshing is a hit-or-miss (more miss) from what I can see :/

Yes, iOS 8.

That confirms my suspicion, although that's not the reason I'm now using Chrome on my current iPod. But it is annoying. When I was using Safari on old iPod, it happened mostly while using mobile data. But it did happen at times while on wi-fi.
